“My idea of professionalism is probably a lot of people’s idea of obsessive.” — David Fincher.

Director David Fincher, in the DVD commentary for Se7en, mentions something that he learned while working at special effects company Industrial Light and Magic: that a director should look at a scene with the left eye for composition, because it goes to your right brain. Focus or technical side of a shot should be looked at with the right eye or left brain, as it’s more of a technical eye (x).

Happy Birthday David Fincher!

“David isn’t afraid to use an ending that works, even if it isn’t the one you want. That’s why I trust him. If he wants me to do a movie, I say yes first, then find out what it is.” (x)
